SSL Certs https://github.com/convox/rack/pull/568

SSL certs are now managed on the Rack or AWS account level with the convox certs tool.

You can add a label to your application manifest to automatically configure a self-signed cert in your load balancer:

web:
  labels:
    - convox.port.443.protocol=https
  ports:
    - 80:3000
    - 443:3000

Then you can replace this with a higher-quality certificate for your domain. You can generate a free AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) cert:

$ convox certs generate foo.example.org
Requesting certificate... OK, acm-01234567890

Or upload one of your existing certs:

$ convox certs create example.org.pub example.org.key
Uploading certificate... OK, cert-1234567890

Then you can attach these certificates to an app’s process.

$ convox ssl update web:443 cert-1234567890
Updating certificate... OK

See the SSL docs for more details.

Build Events https://github.com/convox/rack/pull/572

Failed builds were failing to send webhook notifications. This behavior is now restored.

Power users can look at the Rack Event Logs with:

Log Reliability https://github.com/convox/agent/pull/22

Some errors in synchronizing and retrying around getting container logs out of Docker and into CloudWatch Logs have been root-caused and fixed.
